Polymers that are produced from renewable sources are expected to be the best alternative to replace conventional polymers. The bottles neck of these bioplastics is its cost which limits its a

Almost all materials exhibit sensitivity of mechanical properties to temperature. Polylactic acid (PLA), an amorphous polymeric material, also exhibits this type of behavior. Because of its limited application in structural purpose, very few journals and articles study the ductile–brittle transition temperature (DBTT) of polymeric materials, espe

In this paper, we present an enhanced heterogeneous tree based key management scheme for security of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Our scheme combines efficiently different key management techniques in each architecture level and also it has a dynamic key renewal process. Here, whenever a node is compromised, key renewal is done by one way hash

Introduction Meaning should be the main preoccupation of all translations.

To minimize environmental problems associated with aquaculture, we wanted to develop abalone culture approach in small scale re-circulating aquaculture system housed in an air-conditioned recycled freezer container. Protein skimmer (PS) removes organic matter from the water before it breaks down into nitrogenous waste. The aim of this study was to

Speak English The Right Way is written based on a research done on learners' spoken corpus in higher learning institutions. It deals with essential social expressions that most learners fall short of using in the spoken form. This book thus fills this gaps. The approach is based on the natural way of learning a language.
